The Bentley Bees have returned from hibernation to start work with a little extra help from their friends.<\/p>\n

The Crewe-based company is installing two additional beehives, with one more to follow.<\/p>\n

It will take the number of Flying Bees to 300,000, the largest collection in the UK automotive industry.<\/p>\n

A phased production ramp up is expected to produce more than 200 jars of honey by the end of the harvest season.<\/p>\n

The bees spent the winter months in hibernation with local beekeepers, Buckley\u2019s Bees Ltd.<\/p>\n

Now the 120,000 bees are back home and will be joined by an additional 180,000 British Apis Mellifera honeybees.<\/p>\n

The amount of national beehives will increase from two to five, all on the edge of Bentley\u2019s headquarters in Crewe.<\/p>\n

The area is filled with bee-friendly wild flowers and borders the Cheshire countryside, which provides the perfect habitat for the bees.<\/p>\n

Bentley has also planted 100 native British trees on site, making the bees feel at home, as they ramp up their honey production line.<\/p>\n

Each hive can create 15kg of honey, meaning around 200 jars could be produced and shared with Bentley\u2019s colleagues and visitors.<\/p>\n

\"Bentley<\/p>\n

Peter Bosch, Member of the Board for Manufacturing, said: “Bentley\u2019s Flying Bees have become a firm fixture in Crewe and as we come back stronger as a business, now is the time for our bees to return and bring a little extra help with them.<\/p>\n

“This is all part of a wider sustainability programme at Bentley as a significant contributor to local biodiversity and adds to our ambition to lead sustainable luxury mobility in the future.”<\/p>\n

Production on the Continental GT and Flying Spur lines is back underway at the South Cheshire plant as more employees return to work.<\/p>\n

Bentley was recognised by the Carbon Trust last year with the headquarters in Crewe achieving Carbon Neutral status.<\/p>\n

Measures include use of renewable electricity, 100% either generated by on-site solar panels or purchased as certified green electricity, and 100% certified green gas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
